I've traveled around this country fairly extensively. I've driven around the perimeter, from Minnesota to Montana, flown from coast to coast, and rode a train straight through the middle. I spent a lot of that time staring out the window, watching the landscape roll past, imagining what the land might have looked like when it was still raw and wild. After reading the first three issues of the new Image Comics series "Manifest Destiny," I'm guessing that writer Chris Dingess probably did just the same, and with just as wild an imagination.
